Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS)

Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) is a NASA initiative aimed at partnering with private companies to deliver science and technology payloads to the Moon. Instead of using only government-run programs, CLPS enables various commercial providers to transport equipment and experiments, supporting lunar exploration and research. This collaboration allows NASA to leverage private sector innovations, reduce costs, and increase the frequency of lunar missions. The ultimate goal is to establish sustainable exploration on the Moon, paving the way for future missions to Mars and beyond.
